Lone Worker Safety App

AlertMedia’s lone worker safety app is a zero-button safety solution that provides your organization’s lone workers with a 24/7 monitoring team to ensure your people are safe and protected when they’re working out in the field. AlertMedia’s lone worker solution is an innovative mobile application specifically designed for those working in potentially unsafe environments. The app allows the user to signal for help by pressing a panic button or by using a timed monitoring session. When the panic button is pressed or the timer expires, an alarm is triggered and the AlertMedia Monitoring Center immediately receives the signal. They can then dispatch law enforcement to the user’s exact location or follow the steps outlined in the organization’s emergency action plan. As a leader in the space, AlertMedia provides a firsthand take on the importance of lone worker safety, and how technology and services can keep those people safe.

Protect Your Lone Workers With a Mobile Safety App

Lone Worker Safety App Benefits

Providing your workers in the field a proper solution will deliver four main benefits:

1. A powerful deterrent. If threatened, make it known that letting the timed session expire or hitting the panic button will send police to your location.
2. An audible alarm. If attacked, your lone worker can initiate the alarm and an audible alarm will startle the aggressor.
3. A signal. When the panic button is pressed or the timed session expires, we’ll send law enforcement to your exact location.
4. Confidence. If your lone worker is worried about their working condition, she or he can feel confident that they are not alone, and that help will be there if needed.

The Best Lone Worker Safety App Requires Zero Buttons

AlertMedia is the only solution on the market that signals an alarm without the user having to press any buttons, even if the mobile device is locked. In the event of a life-threatening or dangerous situation, there may be no time or even the ability to worry about unlocking a phone and dialing for help.

When disasters happen, the hands-free safety solution works in concurrence with a panic button and a timed monitoring session. Once the panic button is pressed or the timer expires, AlertMedia’s 24-hour Monitoring Center receives a notification that a lone worker is in danger and dispatches law enforcement to the exact location of the threat using the GPS coordinates from the lone worker safety app.

Why Are Lone Worker Safety Apps Important?

Lone worker safety apps can singlehandedly transform your business by improving your employee safety and boosting your organization’s confidence in your security planning. In a world where almost every individual has immediate access to a mobile device, twenty percent of their day (on average) is spent browsing the web, online shopping, checking social media, all from a mobile device—why should monitoring your lone workers be any different? With a lone worker safety app, you have the power to connect with your employees whether you’re on-the-go or at your desk. Regardless of where your lone workers are out in the field, you have the ability to geographically track everyone through their location services in order to send real-time notifications regarding critical events in the areas that surround them. Through the lone worker mobile app, you can track and communicate with your employees, even when you are both completely working remotely.

Not only can you track, communicate, and dispatch law enforcement through AlertMedia’s technology, the software also gives you the power to easily run, view, and export numerous reports such as the number of incidents and their resolutions within a certain time frame, when and how incidents were resolved, and the precise location of these reported incidents. These kinds of metrics give you a detailed evaluation of your organization’s safety operations while allowing you to assess statistics that show you how you and your lone workers are benefiting from a safety monitoring tool. AlertMedia’s lone worker solution has proven to be an incident deterrent that simultaneously reduces employee turnover. With a simple, yet robust solution increased monitoring and communication makes for happy employees who are prepared and apt to handle any potentially risky situations they may face on a day-to-day basis while simply doing their jobs.
